I keep being told by my other half how us football fans are fickle. She is right you know especially when it comes to Joe Cole. It does still grate with me that he left us because of the money etc but whenever I see him on TV playing for Liverpool I still can hear him saying:

I've joined the biggest club in the country!

I wonder if he has regretted saying that ever since?. Joe himself has said:

"We are not playing well, I'm not playing well but I know I'm at a club that is going to help me through it, I know that and I expect better from myself.

It's disappointing to lose such a big game but, in these situations, the worst thing you can do is start pointing fingers at each other. We have got to look at ourselves. I'll just try and do what I can do to get back to it. I need to find my form somehow. I'm sure I will and it will come soon.

We have had a tough start and a bad start with results. We can't do anything about that now. We are where we are and we have got to change it. We have got to dig deep. There are characters here. I'm looking at myself - nobody else. I need to do a lot better for the club. Every minute of every day I'm thinking about how I can get there again. I'm desperate to do well for Liverpool. I've never had a period like this before and it is all new territory for me, but it is a challenge and life is never easy."

Er, I think you are mistaken Mr Cole. If you had stayed with us then you would be dealing with a much different challenge right now and that's STAYING TOP OF THE LEAGUE!.
